David Cameron, @Number10gov, what are your views on the Technological Singularity, do you subscribe to the notion of exponential tech-growth; are you aware of the ramifications of Moore's Law, the Law of Accelerating Returns, or Koomey's Law?

Are you aware that current progress in regenerative medicine (regarding Stem Cells and biotech) holds our key to immortality within the next 30 years? Do you realize that computers, Artificial Intelligence such as IBM's Watson, will allow us to progress quicker each year; therefore due to the accelerating rate of progress we will almost certainly see around 20,000 years worth of progress this century (based on the 2001 yearly rate of progress); do you realise this? Have you ever heard of 3D-printing (http://vimeo.com/12768578); if so do you realise 3D-Printing combined with prospective AI-boosted nano-factories will create a source of free goods and free energy due to ultra-efficiency, total recycling? In the not too distant future (by year 2045) everything will be free due to Post-Scarcity, do you realise this?
If you, Dave, are sceptical about any of my assertions; the Government should at least create a Singularity Investigatory Committee.

Poor people have no hope for the future. Their only prospects are serving the rich leaders of our capitalist civilisation (Hail Mammon) therefore in light of the London riots it is imperative to give hope to hopeless people. Only awareness of our glorious technological future can give hopeless people hope but sadly politicians are shockingly unaware of futuristic technological ramifications. Are you aware of how technology will radically transform humans; a total transformation of our way of life? In the year 1920 concepts such as Microwave ovens, the internet, and organ regeneration/transplantation probably seemed like Sci-Fi to most people. A great problem with humans is their failure to appreciate we are in a state of radical cultural evolution; we are evolving quicker all the time, thus when I tell people we will be immortal and everything will be free by the year 2045 people think this is Sci-Fi, but you and other politicians should really think deeply about how radically our world will change in the next 30 years.

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in April 2010: "We're going to turn science fiction into science fact." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVS8mjLiP90
Similar bold statements coming from Europe are needed. We need a united bold global vision for our future, the future of the human race. Leaders worldwide need to start explaining the true nature of where technology is leading us to. I think you David Cameron would be a good person to start spreading this awareness. This is the REAL type of education revolution, which people very desperately need.
